White American Man - (Memory Meat 2018)

About this episode

Travis reflects on his past self and discusses the complexities of being a white American straight man during a difficult time in his life.

I will be reposting some old 2018 episodes of memory meat, my podcast that I did while I was in Denver. It was 8 years ago. So who I am now, is quite different than who I was then, I was 30 and in one of the most depressed states of my life. Memory meat was an attempt to keep doing my best to be positive and continue to create. I talk about how it is to be a white American straight man, and questions about new views on that.
